Another vote for Ashdown Orange too Little Bass Thing head

As the OP and also the owner of a great single cab Ampeg SVT212AV I don’t think I will continue looking and be happy to use the one cab for rehearsals and gigs Thanks for the suggestions and good ideas

I gigged the 610 Ampeg for a while and it’s a lovely cab My SVT212AV cab gets pretty close to the sound / volume without the weight !

Also the better ones are made in Italy and the lower cost “ Black line “ I believe are Indonesian built The 151HR as example is one of the higher spec. Italian built cabs

I think they are sold

Yes it’s up for sale .. it’s a lovely 15” cab but I need a 410 or similar I think … it’s only for rehearsals as I normally use my Ampeg SVT212AV cab which is really nice

Yep that would work ..

I would buy it if there was a way of getting it to Suffolk ! However on reflection I think I will park my plans for now

Anyone selling a 410 cab in Suffolk / Norfolk ?

Looking for an additional bass cab to use for band rehearsals I currently have the excellent Ampeg SVT212AV cab which I use with my ABM600 head ( huge sound ) Ideally want a good loud but cheap cab as a backup or use at rehearsals etc but to use on its own Ideally a single cab and weight isn’t a major issue but nothing more than a 410 cab etc I play loud heavy rock to pop rock so it needs to be punchy and loud Are the RM410 Ashdown cabs loud ? They are lighter than some I believe Looking at a budget of circa £300 to £400 ideally

I believe on some earlier models the VU didn’t do much The models today show an accurate display of input signal which used in conjunction with using your ears can set the ideal input gain to the amp.

I’ve been noticing how much more signal my Ashdown VU meter shows on my low E string compared to say the A string Ive lowered my pickup slightly more ( already angled to match neck radius etc ) and I saw a better result where they appear more matched So another great feature on the Ashdown amps makes a useful balancing gauge on strings !! Will see how much more balanced at rehearsals but at least I can get max input settings without fear of crashing into the red zone too often when playing the E string !

In addition to the Ashdown RM500 another great amp is the Orange Little Bass Thing head 500w clean amp and very tube like sounding. Simple EQ and loud !!

In fact I’ve now sold both the TC and Ampeg as I don’t think I need to run a compressor at all !

Funny thing yesterday I was trying my ABM600 with my Mark Bass 151HR cab which I plan to use for rehearsals etc ( lighter than my SVT212AV) I can get a very nice sound using Shape OUT ( on ) and boosting some of the mids The 151HR can handle the deep lows nicely Hopefully it will be loud enough on its own for rehearsals and perhaps smaller venues? It’s about 8kg lighter than my SVT212AV

The Little Bass Thing is all solid state without tubes

Just picked up locally from a nice chap the Mark Bass 151HR cab I plan to use it for rehearsals as it’s a bit lighter than my Svt212av cab Nice Cab

You will love it .. and for a great tip really get to know the EQ You can get so many tones out of it My top tip is pull down the 340hz slider as that improves the tone massively and up the main mids control instead I don’t use the Shape Out feature as it’s too boomy live but again if you wish to use Shape Out ( on ) then boost 340hz and you get a fab tone

Another vote for the Ashdown RM500

I’m definitely coming round to this way too As a guitarist you can benefit from so many pedal variations depending on the music but as a bass player I’m enjoying the simple good amp and cab sound and EQ to suit the room and band

To think I nearly sold my ABM600!!! Eek 😱

Fancy selling one ? MB 115 ?
